Walmart's Own Wine

[TexasBred]

For all you wine lovers out there, this is noteworthy!!!! Walmart announced that, sometime in 2009, it will begin offering customers a new discount item ---- Walmart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the spirits at an
affordable price, in the $2 - $5 range. Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of Walmart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a market for inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at the University of Arkansas . "But the right name is important." Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Walmart wine brand. The top surveyed names
in order of popularity were:

10. Chateau Traileur Parc
9. White Trashfindel
8. Big Red Gulp
7. World Championship Riesling
6. NASCARbernet
5. Chef Boyardeaux
4. Peanut Noir
3. I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar
2. Grape Expectations
1. Nasti Spumante

The beauty of Walmart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel). P.S. Don't bother writing back that this is a hoax. I know possum is not a white meat.

I think I want to try numbers 3 and 6. Had some #5 over the weekend. I can't say it's the best, but it gets the job done. :drink:

Since most Wal-Mart stuff is imported from China I would figure they would bring in the most famous Chinese wine. It is called Great Wall. But then again California is about as close to China as you can get.

Has there been a cost benefit analysis? It seems the sale of these wines will have a direct affect on their sales of ex-laxxxxxxxx. The wine will be cheaper and likely more effective

Loss of ExLax sales will be offset by the increase in TP sales as well as Imodium, Tylenol and AlkaSeltzer. This is where they will "make their money".

Ah yes! You're right. Also you're talking more wine availability likely Increasing prophylactic sales as well as EPTs too. This could be big!

I assume they will sell the wine in boxes so you can get the volume discount and they do not have to worry about refunds on deposits. But maybe you can buy it by the case of bottles.
" I got a case of Peanut Noir" does not sound as bad as "I got a a case of Nasti Spumante"

Thanks. I really needed a good laugh this morning. Now, in addition to the EPT's and the condoms and the hangover remedies, I also understand that Walmart is adding an express divorce lane in selected stores where these products are sold.

They actually do have several varieties of wine under the Turning Leaf lable, for about four bucks a bottle. Goes well with canned pasta.

Wine in a box... How many Thanksgivings have I observed Mom going for the box of wine? Redneck holiday memories are made, then forgotten in a haze of headache and intestinal discomfort, due to wine in a box. I'm not talking the little box, either. I want the big box, and several of them. Keep those relatives sedated and propped up next to the fireplace.

We ain't gonna see it in Minnesota, :???: The only alcohol allowed in retail groceries has to be less then 3.2%.
Don't ask me why.

Why? Your retail groceries have less clout than your liquor stores. Our groceries can sell anything, up to and including liquor. But, they CANNOT sell cold beer. Warm case and 3 bags ice. No problem. Cold beer--nope. Liquor stores lobby furiously to keep this one advantage.

Lammie…
The boxes of wine turn in to a great pillow once it is empty. Just blow it up and good to go.
